It details key principles, explains how to identify different groups of microfossils, and provides insight into their potential applications in solving geologic problems. Basic principles are addressed with examples that explore the strengths and limitations of microfossils and their geological records. This overview provides an understanding of taphonomy and quality of the fossil records, biomineralization and biogeochemistry, taxonomy, concepts of species, and basic concepts of ecology. Readers learn about the major groups of microfossils, including their morphology, ecology, and geologic history..Coverage includes: foraminifera, ostracoda, coccolithophores, pteropods, radiolaria, diatoms, silicoflagellates, conodonts, dinoflagellates, acritarch, and spores and pollens. In this coverage, marine microfossils, and particularly foraminifera, are discussed in more detail compared with the other groups as they continue to play a major role in most scientific investigations. Among the various tracers of earth history, microfossils provide the mo | 出版日期 | Book 2016 | 关键词 | Micropaleontology; Paleoceanography; Paleoenvironment; Paleontology; Petroleum exploration; Taphonomy | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-14574-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-319-79199-9 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-319-14574-7 | copyright | Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016 |
